Sell Your Apollo 17 Flown Lunar Map
The Apollo Program took place between 1969 and 1972 and was NASA’s project that first put humans on the moon and brought them safely back to Earth. Apollo 11, with astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, was the first mission to achieve this and was followed by five more Apollo missions that also accomplished this main objective.
Nate D. Sanders Auctions sold an Apollo 17 flown lunar map of the Tsiolkovsky Crater for $1,100. Please see details below:
Apollo 17 Flown Lunar Map of the Tsiolkovsky Crater on the Far Side of the Moon — With COA Signed by Apollo 17 Mission Commander Gene Cernan
Dramatic photo of the moon’s Tsiolkovsky Crater, flown on the Apollo 17 mission as certified by Mission Commander Gene Cernan. Photo originates from the Apollo 17 Lunar Landmark Map Book, used by the astronauts to identify different parts of the moon from lunar orbit. Map plate measures 10.625″ x 8″, with label signed by Cernan on margin, certifying that the map was flown on Apollo 17 “to study the Moon from lunar orbit”. The Tsiolkovsky crater is on the far side of the moon, facing away from the Earth, and therefore only visible to the astronauts. Accompanied by photo of Cernan with the Apollo 17 Lunar Landmark Map Book. Outstanding space collectible from the last Apollo mission. Sold for $1,100.

Apollo 13 flown heat shield plug, encased in a circular piece of lucite and engraved in black along bottom, ”Apollo 13 / April 11-17, 1970”. Heat shield plugs are made of a lightweight fiberglass ”honeycomb”, which is hand-filled with an ablative resin material in order to limit heat exposure during re-entry. The crew endured incredible circumstances after launching 11 April 1970, when two days later, they were forced into an emergency turn-around before ever reaching the moon. Fortunately the astronauts expertly improvised a repair to the spacecraft and narrowly escaped disaster, ultimately returning safely to Earth. Plug measures 1.5” in diameter with ”12” engraved to bottom; lucite casing measures 3”. Near fine. With an LOA from Jack Swigert’s sister. Sold for $3,750.
